That’s crazy. Sounds like something Russia is behind. No way they want a guy who beat DT. Brook’s is as pure as they come

Looks like this could cost Brooks and PSU titles.

Has no effect on PSU. No story here but people trying to make one

A nothing burger. It happened 9 months ago at U23 worlds… he still qualified for USOT by winning NCAAs. Are you saying he shouldn’t have been allowed to wrestle in the trials?

Tom,
Just curious because I’m wondering and a couple people have ask me about Brooks. I know it’s a very tiny issue but the Olympic board does not seem to like the USA. So is AB going to be alright ? In addition other countries would love us to only have 5 wrestlers. Would be insane if Brooks couldn’t wrestle.

We wouldn't only have 5. Weight is already qualified. It would be next man up, which is Taylor. Then 3rd place at trials.

According to FRL Brooks cleared by WADA
